Already from the 14th century, markets were constantly held in Piața Sfatului in Brașov and produce were exchanged. Back then it was called Marktplatz. The space is dominated by the building Casa Sfatului, built in 1420. It not only offers the centre of the square, but also an interesting chromatic counterpoint, through a light colour, to the nearby Schwarze Kirche, the Black Church, visible from the square.
